Oh no. The AP is no longer influenceable which is sad. I'm scroll locked too, but when I'm not it looks like I [and everyone else] will have to play the gender lottery.

Aeons! I stocked up on a bunch after the AP went below ER the year before last. And hopefully once people grab the lowest time ones, times will actually increase for a while--remember that the highest time Halloweens in the AP are still going to have 6 days as of midnight tonight. That's 3 days of non-ER stuff, if we can dig down to it!

It is odd that it hit such a low time so quickly, though. I don't remember it ever doing so before. Lots of people focused on CBs instead of lineages, maybe, since they were counting on it this time? Hopefully it fixes itself next year as people meet their goals.

That caught my eye too! Yep, maybe people just focused on CB's instead of lineages, or breeding their current dragons. Anyway I focused on CB's but bred many of my dragons anyway, so yeah, it's odd...

I was hoping for another week of AP Halloween stuff like last year but we'll see!

@skauble if I remember right... when the Halloween biome was first introduced, people were complaining because it was a lot of the newest dragons and not many of the old, so supply wasn't meeting demand. It was even WORSE during Christmas / Valentines, because people couldn't even pick up the breeds they already had! So I'm pretty sure at one point TJ announced he'd fiddled with the ratios to make more of the older breeds drop (Hollies in particular were chaos to get, for obvious reasons). Maybe that's carried over to this year.

Thanks. I wasn't playing regularly for a few years, so I missed pretty much all the info about the holiday dedicated biomes. And I can definitely see how it would make sense to change them a bit, and since they'll be there every year it's probably a good idea to make the older ones easy to get.

Definitely think more people ignored the AP this time around. Usually my first breedings on the 25th and 26th go quickly, but they sat around for a surprisingly long time. A number of my first breedings ended up ER/frozen too when usually it's the eggs from the 30th and 31st that become freezing fodder. Curious to see the changes taking place and what's going to happen with this severely ER AP.

I wonder if next year, when more and more people like myself become satisfied with their CB collections, we'll see a return to hunting the AP instead of the biome. Then again there's always going to be a new breed to hoard CBs of. Here's hoping pretty holiday lineages never fall completely out of style, they're some of my favorites =o

Honestly I wish any egg dumped by over 10 different unique users would be auto killed... When I was AP hunting earlier this week I saw some messies sit for close to an hour, just blocking everything. 😕 I realize tastes vary, but if TEN PEOPLE throw the fish back, it’s probably not a very good fish.

There's definitely some pretty lineages floating around in there. Fingers crossed for the ones that gender right. Definitely picking up more aeons before next Halloween even though I love alternating checkers with flipped genders.

I also wish that if you dump one egg, that you can no longer pic up any egg from the same clutch-lol!

I think it'd be nice if we had reserve egg slots for bred things. You could fill up on your 8 CBs and still have 3 or 4 spaces for hunting the AP. I'm going to be freezing a lot of messies I find (Marrow S1s yes plz) or tossing hatchlings back once I've got space, but it'd be nice to keep the AP moving throughout the whole holiday and not just when CBs stop dropping. It'd be great for trading too, while not feeling like you're holding up precious egg space waiting on swaps.

To be fair, this is the first holiday in 10+ years I can remember being like this. Usually the AP gets a lot of love.

And as opposed to auto kill... maybe every five unique users dumping an egg = 1 hour removed from it? 5 hours? Makes it more desirable and if like an absurd amount of people don’t want it it could even die then, haha.
